Italian-American dishes inspired by the recipes from their Italian captains' and officers' childhoods are served up family-style in a comfy, eclectic environment decorated to feel like an Italian country home.

• Guy's Burger Joint

  

  Carnival went looking for someone to help them grill up the best burgers at sea, and they found just the guy. Carnival has teamed up with best-selling author, restaurateur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to bring all the appetizing appeal of a roadside burger to Guy's Burger Joint, the cool poolside spot for hot burgers and hand-cut fries.

• Ocean Plaza Cafe

  

  Ocean Plaza is the indoor/outdoor space that brings together that which stimulates most of your senses: food for the taste buds, live music for the ears, expansive glass walls with beautiful ocean vistas for your eyes - and blends these together in such a way that you'll scarcely notice you're indoors, if you even are indoors.

• Pizzeria del Capitano

  

  The Italian mojo of Cucina del Capitano has been extended to this new exciting addition. Carnival introduces Pizzeria del Capitano! With fresh pizzas right out of the oven, Pizzeria del Capitano is the good kind of cheesy.

So kick back and feel the island vibe come to life. You'll be a local here before you know it.

• Men's Services

  

  Hey man, been to the spa lately? Well, why let the ladies have all the fun? You can actually enjoy a lot of the same stuff they do, plus manly services like razor-close barbershop-style shaves — pair one with a facial to really get a good thing going up top. Speaking of the barber, a cruise is a great time to rock a whole new hairstyle, a quick grey-hair darkening, or even just a fresh trim. And what guy wouldn’t go for a little extra relaxation with a massage?

• Spa

  

  When it comes to relaxation from the inside out, nothing beats a trip to the spa. From the minute you step inside, the soothing ambiance begins to work its magic. Renew yourself with premium beauty and wellness therapies, like hot stone massages, aromatherapy or full-body wraps.

Onboard Activities

• Carnival Seaside Theater

  

  Night time isn't the only time you'll find stars on your cruise. Day or night, find a spot on deck and check out Carnival's Seaside Theatre's huge outdoor screen. Hit movies, live sporting events, concerts and even cartoons for the kids are just some of what you'll find featured at this large-scale outdoor entertainment zone. Grab a copy of the FunTimes and check the day's listings... then grab a friend or three and get ready to kick back and enjoy.

  A cruise is the perfect time to treat yourself to something sweet, and Cherry On Top happens to be the perfect place. You'll find this well-stocked candy-and-more-store not only great for enjoying some of your confectionery favorites, but the place to pick up food and apparel gifts for that special someone, even if — admit it — that someone happens to be you!

• Mini Golf

  

  Foooooooore! Have a swinging good time at the onboard mini-golf course. The greens are meticulously maintained and the view is pretty spectacular. (When's the last time you played with an unobstructed view of the Caribbean?)

That's an easy one!

• Seuss at Sea

  

  Dr. Seuss’s timeless stories are the kind kids memorize, and this is the kind of cruise you’ll remember for a lifetime. The whole family will still enjoy all the classic Carnival activities, but the littlest ones, and their families, will also enjoy an all-new, extra-special experience as the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss comes to life around them. Enjoy a special onboard character parade, interactive story time, arts & crafts activities, character breakfast featuring their favorite Dr. Seuss friends and more.

Night Life

• BlueIguana Tequila Bar

  

  BlueIguana Tequila Bar is the onboard spot to chill and enjoy a slushy tequila drink or an ice-cold Mexican cerveza. The menu offers up Mexican favorites, including several brands of tequila and a slew of Mexican brews.

• Havana Bar

  

  Step into the Havana Bar and be transported to an antebellum Cuba preserved today in old postcards, vintage literature and classic cuisine. Have some café Cubano, Cuban cocktails or scrumptious Cuban pastries.

• Limelight Lounge

  

  The limelight's where you want to be if you're an artist. The Limelight Lounge is too, but it's also a great place to be as a fan! Here on the stage, entertainers of all kinds — musicians, vocalists, comedians... even karaoke stars and more — make themselves at home as they practice their craft the enjoyment of the audience.

• Night Club

  

  Get up and get down at the most happenin' club in the Caribbean. The DJs are spinning today's hottest hits and yesterday's golden oldies, guaranteed to get you out of your seat and tapping your feet. (Hey, that rhymed!) Whether you're doing the robot or the worm or just swaying to the music, you'll want to dance 'til the sun rises.

• Piano Bar

  

  Play it again, Sam. Or Diana. Or whatever your name is. Because this is the bar where you call the shots - and the songs. Pull up a seat, order your favorite cocktail, and let your friendly piano player know the songs you'd like to hear.

Grab a drink or order some snacks — they’re great while kicking back and watching your favorite teams on one of the big screens, or just dropping by to check out real-time scores and headlines on the panoramic ticker.

• The Library Bar

  

  For a relaxing time, check out The Library Bar, where great literature doesn't stop at the wine list. This intimate cocktail lounge features state-of-the-art self-serve wine dispensers, plus bartenders who can make a fine drink.

• The Punchliner Comedy Club

  

  Comedy clubs on land… well, it’s kinda funny. Nobody likes paying cover charges, and you know that two-drink minimum? They’ve gotta be joking! You won’t find either of these at The Punchliner Comedy Club aboard your Carnival cruise. Up on stage you will find some real pros who know how to wedge a little laughter into anyone’s evening. You can count on these comedians to not hold back either. Since some of them get up and say exactly what’s on their mind, Carnival also schedules family-friendly performances… so the only red faces in the audience are from laughing a little too hard.

Youth Activities

• Camp Carnival

  

  It's everything they love about summer camp and their favorite babysitter, all in one! Camp Carnival offers tons of activities designed for children in three different age groups: 2 to 5 years, 6 to 8 years, and 9 to 11 years. Our counselors, each with education or childcare experience, are on the clock making sure everyone in the small groups of kids are having fun.

• Circle C

  

  What does the “C” in Circle “C” stand for? Well, “chill,” “connect” and “cool,” just to name a few. It’s where young teens ages 12 to 14 go to hang out, meet new friends, and enjoy some pretty awesome activities like dance parties, games, outdoor movies and more, in the special Circle “C” area or around the ship.

• Club O2

  

  Your parents deserve a nice vacation… but then again, so do you. So let’s let them go do their thing while you do yours. Where to? Club O2. Hang out and do stuff like watch movies, listen to music from this decade, play sports and video games, join karaoke jam sessions… maybe even have a pool party or two, all with other high schoolers ages of 15 to 17.

Sports and Fitness

• Fitness Center

  

  Stay fit on your vacation with the help of Spa Carnival's fully equipped fitness center. Go for a jog, lift some weights, or use our state-of-the-art equipment to work up a sweat and get stronger. If it's heart-pumping cardio classes you're after, try indoor cycling, aerobics or cardio circuit training. If you're in more of a chill-out mood, try yoga or Pilates.

• Fitness Classes

  

  You can have all the will in the world, a great attitude that keeps you working hard at the gym, but still not see the results you’re hoping for. If that’s the case — or you’re just looking to shake things up with a little extra fun or challenge in your workout — check out Carnival’s selection of onboard fitness classes. Whether it’s yoga, pilates, indoor cycling or boot camp, there’s a fitness class that’ll get you the workout you need, and the instruction you need to do it right.

• Jogging Track

  

  Who said you can't run on water? Lace up your sneakers and hit the deck for a run alongside the ocean at any time of day or night. Whether you feel like an early morning jog or a midnight run under the stars, the jogging track is always open and available for anyone looking to get their heart rate up over the great blue sea.

• SportSquare

  

  The sky's the limit when it comes to fitness fun at our innovative outdoor recreation area. Not to toot our massive horn, but we're the only cruise line that has one. First, there's the ropes course, where you can test your courage high above the sea. Then there's the basketball court, which can also be used for soccer and volleyball, and the mini-golf course that lights up at night.

Shopping

• Art Gallery

  

  An ever-changing collection of fine art and limited-edition prints adorns the ships' corridors. These works aren't just pleasing to the eye - many are available to buy during art auctions. Sip some champagne, browse the gallery, and bid on a piece to take home as a trip memento.

• Shopping

  

  You'll find the perfect gifts for friends, family or yourself at our onboard gift shops, stocked with so much good stuff you'll want to shop 'til you drop. With everything from T-shirts to high-end timepieces, lockets to your favorite spirits (available duty-free), you're bound to find something special for that special someone, or perhaps even you.

Pools

• Carnival Waterworks

  

  Wanna splish and splash the day away? Head on over to WaterWorks, Carnival's very own onboard waterpark. First up, there's the Twister Waterslide, designed to make other waterslides jealous. It's four decks high and 300 feet of spiraling awesomeness, and the largest on any cruise ship. (For real.) Then there's the 82-foot-long side-by-side racing slides that are the centerpieces of shallow splash pools with multiple fountains and water sprays.

• Resort Pools

  

  Imagine relaxing by a cool pool with a cool breeze with your favorite drink in hand. Make it a reality and head on over to the resort-style pool located in the middle of the ship. On select ships, the midship pool is even flanked by a pair of oversized whirlpools, which mean even more ways to let the hours just drift by.
